I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

The emperor did not show much expression on the surface, but in his heart he was even more satisfied with his third son, whom he already favored.

"The Dali Temple hasn't given a name to the mastermind behind the robbery of the wedding procession yet?"

The emperor got what he wanted and was in a good mood, and he began to think about his beloved son again.

"Father, based on the weapons that were confiscated at the time, we have traced them to a Jianghu organization called Muyue Pavilion. There are not many people in the Jianghu, so I'm afraid it will take some time to get to the Dali Temple."

Ouyang Yanqing had a serious expression and did not reveal much emotion. He simply described the situation.

"You go and supervise it. Something happened in the Prince's Mansion, and the real culprit has not been caught for three or four months. Isn't it time for Jing Yue, the Dali Temple Minister, to give up his position?"

"My son, I accept the decree."

After Ouyang Yanqing left, a man walked out from the other side of the imperial study. It was the King of Qin.

"Royal brother, you love the third brother for what he has done. Not a single blade of this precious grass was left in the princess's yard. They were all given to you as a gift."

The emperor looked at the transplanted spiritual herbs on the table, reached out and gently touched the leaves, with a smile on his lips.

"I'm afraid he has guessed that Muyue Pavilion belongs to me, and he was just testing me."

"Then my brother..."

"The prince is not doing his job well. These will be handed over to him sooner or later. Go ahead."

The King of Chu and the Emperor are brothers from the same mother. They have been through the difficult struggle for the throne with mutual support, so they can accept the struggle for the throne in the court, but they both dislike assassinations and frame-ups behind the scenes.

The prince trained his assassins and touched the third brother, which crossed their bottom line.

The next day Ouyang Yanqing went to the Dali Temple and conveyed the emperor's original words. Jing Yue had no target and had put the case aside, but now he had to mobilize it again.

Unexpectedly, within just two days, the clues appeared one by one very smoothly.

Jing Yue first accidentally captured Old Man Li who privately manufactured weapons, then captured the black market merchant who resold weapons and was confessed by Old Man Li. He then tracked down the son of the steward of the Prince's Mansion and after some interrogation, he not only confessed that the Prince had raised assassins, but also seized several letters between the Prince and court officials.

Of course, since it involved the crown prince, Jing Yue didn't dare to handle it himself and could only secretly hand it over to the emperor to decide.

This matter could be a big or small one, it all depends on the emperor's consideration.

When Ouyang Honghe heard the news that the third brother was flattering and offering treasures and the Dali Temple had tracked down clues, his mentality was already a little unbalanced. When he heard the housekeeper say that his son was arrested, he was even more furious.

He felt that he had been tricked by Hua Yueli and Ouyang Yanqing in his rebirth, so he rushed into her room in anger.

"You bitch, have you and the Third Brother agreed to seize my throne?"

As Ouyang Honghe spoke, he slapped the person far away, and half of Hua Yueli's face was visibly swollen.

In his previous life, he ascended the throne too smoothly, and Ouyang Yanqing didn't even show any intention of competing for the throne, and just gave up.

Therefore, in this life, Ouyang Honghe's biggest obsession after rebirth is to be with Hua Yueli. Not only is he not cautious enough in his actions, but he also gives up many important things, such as spending energy to win people's hearts and minds and doing things to win their support.

As a result, everything is going wrong for him now, and when he thinks about it, most of them are related to this woman.

For her, he first offended General Hua, then Princess Qin, then he disobeyed his mother, forced her into marriage by taking advantage of his father's favor, which displeased his father. Later, he led his assassins to rob and kill the princess, and was reprimanded for raising grain for disaster relief... one thing after another.

"I was wondering why everything is different from the last life. You and the third brother have also been reborn, right? Are you planning a trap for me? Hmm?"

Hua Yueli, who was lying on the ground stunned by the slap, looked at the prince in disbelief when she heard him mention rebirth.

When Ouyang Honghe saw that the woman did not refute for a long time, he thought he was right and became even more angry. He looked around and saw the decorative whip on the wall. He took it down and whipped Hua Yueli with it desperately.

Hua Yueli's screams lasted for a long time, and the maids and servants outside the door all knelt on the ground, trembling.

Gradually the sound became weaker until it became quiet. Suddenly, Ouyang Honghe's voice was heard from the room.

"Quick, go find the doctor!"

"Li'er, Li'er, wake up, Li'er, don't scare me..."

Ouyang Yanqing couldn't help but frowning when he heard the report from the secret guard. Although he had changed from liking her to somewhat disgusting her after seeing Hua Yueli's true character, after all, they had been connected in the previous life. He still felt a little bit reluctant to hear that Hua Yueli was being abused like this.

Especially when he heard that the imperial physician had examined the patient and prescribed some medicine, saying that if the patient could survive two days, he could save his life, so he hurriedly told Yueying the news.

I originally thought that Yueying valued family ties and had a soft heart, so if I mentioned Hua Yueli's miserable condition to her, she would take the initiative to treat her.

However, he didn't expect Yueying to beat around the bush and talk about something else, so he had to bring up the topic again.

"So you want me to use the pills in my hand to save her?"

"She...isn't she also your third sister?"

When asked this by Yueying, Ouyang Yanqing actually felt a little embarrassed, as if he was being caught cheating by Yueying. He felt very uncomfortable and avoided Yueying's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard that there was a period of time when the little sister disguised herself and went out for an hour or two every day. Alas, I don't know who she was going to see."

"you……"

Ouyang Yanqing's face turned slightly red, and she remembered that she had had interactions with Hua Yueli in not only the last life, but also in this life.

He paused for a moment, as if he had thought of what to say.

"I didn't know Ying'er at that time, so naturally I had more contact with her because I could see her outside. Later, after I got to know Ying'er, I started to listen to my wife obediently."

"Humph."

Ouyang Yanqing coaxed Yueying for a while, and finally made her laugh, then he continued.

"I just thought about it and decided that I shouldn't give this medicine away. The herbs have already been presented to my father. If I take out the pills, it will just cause trouble."

"You are still clear-headed. Besides, we came here right after the incident. The prince will also suspect that we have planted spies in their house."

"The prince should know about the nameless grass. Why don't we ask my elder sister to go to the prince's residence tomorrow? When the prince sees my elder sister, he should be able to remember the grass."

Yueying felt a little uncomfortable, but she quickly suppressed it and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"Do you think the prince will ask his father for medicine?"

"Hard to say."

"So you're not worried about my little sister anymore?"

Ouyang Yanqing felt uncomfortable and a little embarrassed when he heard Yueying's slightly joking question, and his face turned a little red.

"The premise of helping her is not to hurt you. If helping her requires you to pay a price, I am unwilling to do so."

"If all else fails, find someone with high martial arts skills and find an opportunity to mix the pills into her medicine."

After all, Hua Yueli also came from the Hua family, and Yueying didn't really want to not help her at all, especially since she was the heroine.

"It's feasible, but let's see what the prince will do tomorrow."

On the second day, in the afternoon, the secret guard reported that the prince had not entered the palace. Yueying herself became a little anxious. She did not want the heroine to die, so she gave the powdered pill to the secret guard and asked him to find a way to add it to Hua Yueli's medicine.

After a while, the secret guard brought the powder back and said that he had gone by chance, as he happened to meet the prince leaving the house and entering the palace.

News came at night that the emperor was furious when he heard Huayueli's name. He gave the prince a stalk of grass, but then issued an order to depose the prince on the grounds that he was disobedient to his emperor and father and harmed his brothers.

It is said that the emperor ignored him at first, but who would have thought that the prince would even threaten to commit suicide. Recently the emperor had become increasingly dissatisfied with him continuing to be the prince, so he was eager to settle all past scores with the emperor.

After listening to this, Yueying sighed a little. She thought that this male and female protagonist were truly in love, but it was a pity that he was a domestic violence man.

Thinking of the domestic violence man, Yueying turned to look at the person next to her. He had crushed Hua Yueqing's hand bones before. She didn't know if she would be lucky enough not to stimulate his violent potential.

Tsk tsk, these royal men are no good. To put it bluntly, when they pamper you, they treat you like a treasure, but when they are disgusted and angry with you, they are lucky if they don't kill you.

In the end, Ouyang Honghe was assigned a not-so-good fiefdom and was sent away.

Before leaving, Yueying and the others went to see them off, after all, they were brothers and sisters.

The prince, no, it was the deposed prince who took Ouyang Yanqing aside and asked him whether he was a reborn person and had colluded with Hua Yueli.

Ouyang Yanqing originally came here to accompany his princess, but she didn't expect Ouyang Honghe to gossip with her. After thinking about it, she didn't answer him directly, but said some of her true feelings.

"Brother, do you know why I gave up Hua Yueli? Whether she is good or bad, your original intention of liking her has not changed. I am different from you. I liked her at first because of her life experience, which made me feel pity for her. But when I found out that these were all made up by her, my love for her naturally disappeared."

As Ouyang Yanqing spoke, he looked at the women on the other side, with some warmth in his eyes.

"And Ying'er is like a ray of light in the darkness that a drowning person can see. She doesn't even need to get close to me, I will be attracted to her involuntarily."

"So you and Li'er have no relationship in this life?"

"Never."

Ouyang Honghe seemed to be finally satisfied. He sighed, walked towards the carriage, took his people on the carriage and said goodbye to everyone.

"What did he tell you?"

Yueying was very curious. The prince had been an emperor in his previous life, but he accepted the fiefdom so calmly in this life.

What I wrote in my original text was that the male and female protagonists after their rebirth abused the vicious female supporting role in various ways, and then because they had grasped many opportunities, they worked together to assist the prince in becoming the emperor.

"He asked me to help him be filial to his mother."

"this one?"

This answer surprised Yueying so much that she simply couldn't understand Ouyang Honghe's personality.

"if not."

"Then he is quite filial."

"Ah."

"That's really all he said? But you guys talked about it for a long time."

"That's it, really."

Unable to tell whether what Ouyang Yanqing said was true or not, Yueying could only shrug her shoulders. It should have nothing to do with her anyway.

"Do you think he will recruit troops in his fiefdom and make a comeback?"

"Do you think your husband is a vegetarian?"

The two chatted as they walked towards their carriage.

Yueying lived a very comfortable life. Although Ouyang Yanqing would chat with her when he came back from work outside, he would not let her go out to help him do anything.

The Spring Festival was coming soon, and the emperor, just like in the original text, rescued a woman on the way to the festival and brought her back to the palace. Because the woman looked very much like the deceased concubine, the emperor's compensatory psychology made the woman the most favored woman in the harem.

The emperor stayed in Hanmeixuan almost every night and soon became pregnant with an heir. A year later, she gave birth to a little prince.

This not only caused dissatisfaction in the harem, but also raised many objections in the previous dynasty. The most uncomfortable one was Ouyang Yanqing, who had been conferred the title of crown prince.

It was not because there was a baby competing for the throne, but because the woman had a face that looked 80% like his biological mother and lived in his mother's bedroom. Since his mother's death, the emperor had never let anyone live in that bedroom again. When he was younger, the emperor would take him there to sit for half a day every year, doing nothing, just quietly.

Yueying knew that Ouyang Yanqing was in a bad mood, especially on the anniversary of his biological mother's death. She almost couldn't help but tell him that if he waited another two years, the woman would die in childbirth, and the emperor would never recover and would die in just one or two years.
